Miller denied that the former president is funding “GETTR.”

When one has no money…well Jason who is funding this?

The blog — where Trump sought refuge to post statements after social media giants banned him from their platforms for violating anti-violence policies — failed to amass a fraction of the tens of millions of followers he had on Facebook and Twitter

The blog was supposed to get around the twitter and facebook ban. The idea was that T&F users could still post links to the blog posts, thus getting his bloviations onto the sites. When T&F banned those too, and the blog itself had pitiful readership, they pulled the plug.

“non-bias?” More like a highly biased social disease for wannabe fascists around the world.

Is it pronounced GetHer to sublimate the Hilz hatred?

I rarely say this, since it’s an eye of the beholder thing, but to me this is mildly amusing but not really news. It’s a startup in a very crowded market and it’s already characterized by scurrilous racist posts that would be taken down from any self-respecting site. The idea that a new Trump-friendly social media app would have Trump’s former numbers flocking to it to hear the pearls dropping from his stubby fingertips doesn’t seem borne out in reality.

It seems initial funding came from a foundation run by fugitive Chinese billionaire Guo Wengwui (and “fugitive Chinese billionaire” seems to be part of his name). There’s also what Miller says is an “international consortium” of investors. If you ask me anyone funding this dog has his or her own reasons for doing so and making money isn’t among them. Just saying.

Oh I get that, it’s the notion that Trump has a chance to get a market share in the social media world. And then of course anything to keep the natives riled up will be fine for some overseas folks.
Which then leads me to isn’t Guo Wengwui is Bannon’s angel? And is he really fugitive Chinese billionaire, or playing one so as to position himself as a shit stirrer?

Serious answer: Steve Bannon’s billionaire Chinese sugar daddy and suspected CCP double-agent.

I think Groyper was already being used by Nick Fuentes.

Has it been established by anyone credible whether this guy is a conduit for PRC funding. This is the sort of political psyops that would likely appeal to a foreign power trying to ratf**k the U.S. political system.
